Twice Baked Potatoes Microwave Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Use a fork to pierce the potato skins.
• Bake the potatoes unwrapped for about 1 hour, or until soft, in the preheated oven.
• Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.
• Over medium-low heat melt the butter in a large saucepan. Combine onion, mushrooms, red pepper, garlic powder, pepper, chives and salt. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally until the onions are soft.
• Slice open the baked potatoes and, keeping the skins intact, scoop the insides into a medium bowl. Transfer the onion mixture to the bowl. Mix in the sour cream. Pour in 1/2 of the cheese and continue mixing until all ingredients are well blended.
• Using a large spoon, fill the potato skins with the mixture. Top with bread crumbs, the remaining cheese and bacon.
• Return the potatoes to the preheated oven and continue baking for about 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the filling is slightly brown.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake potatoes in preheated oven for 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.
• When potatoes are done allow them to cool for 10 minutes. Slice potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop the flesh into a large bowl; save skins. To the potato flesh add sour cream, milk, butter, salt, pepper, 1/2 cup cheese and 1/2 the green onions. Mix with a hand mixer until well blended and creamy. Spoon the mixture into the potato skins. Top each with remaining cheese, green onions and bacon.
• Bake for another 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Pierce skins of potatoes with fork.
• Place potatoes in microwave cooking 9-12 minutes, or until done. Turn 1/2 way through cooking.
• Cut each potato in half and scoop out the insides into a bowl.
• Add remaining ingredients. Beat until smooth. (You can use a hand mixer but a spoon or fork works just as well.).
• Spoon the mixture back into the potato skins.
• Heat in microwave and additional 2-3 minutes or until heated through.
• Top with your favorite toppings.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the potatoes on a baking sheet. Rub them with the canola oil and bake for 1 hour, making sure they're sufficiently cooked through.
• Slice the butter into pats. Place in a large mixing bowl and add the bacon bits and sour cream. Remove the potatoes from the oven. Lower the heat to 350 degrees F.
• With a sharp knife, cut each potato in half lengthwise. Scrape out the insides into the mixing bowl, being careful not to tear the shell. Leave a small rim of potato intact for support. Lay the hollowed out potato shells on a baking sheet.
• Smash the potatoes into the butter, bacon and sour cream. Add the cheese, milk, seasoned salt, green onions and black pepper to taste and mix together well. (IMPORTANT: If you plan to freeze the twice-baked potatoes, do NOT add the green onions.)
• Fill the potato shells with the filling. I like to fill the shells so they look abundant and heaping. Top each potato with a little more grated cheese and pop 'em in the oven until the potato is warmed through, 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Pierce well-scrubbed potatoes twice.
• Place 1 inch apart on paper towel in microwave oven.
• Microwave at HIGH 10-1/2 to 12-1/2 minutes, or until just softened, rearranging and turning over after half the cooking time.
• Let stand, covered with a bowl, for 5 minutes.
• Place bacon on paper towel lined plate. Cover with paper towel.
• Microwave at HIGH 5 to 6 minutes, or until crisp.
• Drain bacon on paper towel; crumble.
• Place butter and green onion in 2 quart casserole; cover.
• Microwave at HIGH 1-1/2 to 2 minutes, or until butter is melted and onion is tender.
• Cut potatoes in half lengthwise.
• Scoop out center; place in casserole with onion-butter and bacon.
• Add milk, salt and pepper; mash until fluffy.
• Spoon into potato shells.
• Arrange on paper towel-lined microwaveable baking sheet.
• Sprinkle with paprika.
• Microwave at HIGH 3 to 7 minutes, or until heated, rotating 1/2 turn.
• Garnish with additional chopped green onion, if desired.

Steps:

• Poke potatoes with the tines of a fork, and place them in the microwave oven. The more holes, the better. Cook on high power for about 4 minutes per potato. Check about halfway through, and turn potatoes over for even cooking. Potatoes are done when they can be easily poked with a fork.
• Remove potatoes from the microwave, and cut each one in half lengthwise. Use a large spoon to scoop out the inside of the potatoes, leaving the skins intact. Place the scoopings into a large microwave safe bowl, and stir in the 4 green onions, sour cream, processed cheese, and 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese. Season with garlic powder, seasoned salt, and black pepper; mix well.
• Place the bowl in the microwave, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until heated through. Scoop the mixture back into the potato skins to serve, or serve from the bowl. Garnish with additional green onion and shredded cheese if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a small casserole dish by spraying with canola spray.
• Pierce the potatoes all over with a fork. Place in the microwave and cook on medium, turning once, until the potatoes are soft, about 20 minutes. Set aside to cool, about 5 minutes.
• Cut off the top third of the cooked potatoes. Scoop out the insides and place into a medium bowl. Add the green onions and mash together. Add the garlic, bacon, 1 cups cheese, salt, pepper and sour cream. Mix together well.
• Nestle the hollowed out potatoes in the prepared dish. Evenly divide the potato mixture among the potato shells and top with the remaining 1/4 cup cheese. Place the potatoes into the oven and cook, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
• Microwave potatoes on HIGH for 10 minutes, to speed up cooking time. This can come in handy, especially on a hot summer day. They can also be completely cooking in the microwave.
• Then, bake in oven until tender, about 30 minutes.
• When done, cut 1/3 of top off each potato.
• Scoop flesh from potatoes, being careful not to pierce the sking, into a medium bowl. Reserve shells. Add cream cheese, sour cream and butter to potato flesh.
• Beat potato mixture with an electric mixer set at medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 3 minutes. Add onion salt, salt, and pepper, stir.
• Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees.
• Spoon potato mixture into potato shells. Sprinkle with cheddar. Bake until cheese melts and potatoes are heated through, about 15 minutes.
• The hard part comes into play here - ENJOY!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Clean and scrub baking potatoes. Pierce skin with a fork once or twice. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for approximately 1 hour or until the potatoes are soft and firm.
• Let potatoes cool slightly. Cut baked potatoes in half and scoop out pulp within 1/4 inch of the shell edge. Mash the pulp with milk, salt and butter to taste. Stuff shells with mashed pulp mixture sprinkle tops with grated cheddar cheese. Place potatoes on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 15 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
